GREEN-FINGERED Essex Cares customers have been working overtime to grow an assortment of produce ahead of their annual plant and craft sale at Roundwood Garden Centre and Cafe.
This event is open to all members of the public and there will be a BBQ.
The centre is used by Essex Cares customers with learning disabilities to develop skills including horticulture and landscape maintenance as well as catering and hospitality.
It aims to give them the work based training they need to develop skills and independence to progress into voluntary or paid employment.
Sue Turner, Essex Cares community support administrator, said: "Our customers have worked extremely hard tending to the plants in our greenhouse and allotments and we are extremely proud of what they have achieved."
The sale is on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm. For more information visit www.essexcares.org or call 0800 035 9770.
